A blanket fit for Royalty......and baby steps. ...baby steps

Isn't AL's baby blanket beautiful? I love it. Fit for royalty I say! It is very soft too.

I've been a bit under the weather. I think I am better, and then feel off again. Fireman and I watched Waiting For Superman this afternoon. Very interesting, very sad in some respects. Tomorrow I'll be wedding watching after I get up.

Finally, I am going to post my number of steps every day here on the blog. To shame myself into working out again. Gotta start somewhere!

Love the blanket and the variety of stitches. Are you going to change stitch patterns every four or five inches?

I've started walking in the mornings again. When Lady Bird gets me up early enough - otherwise it gets to close to Ellie wake-up. I'll start thinking about you walk walk walking and maybe it will motivate me!

The baby blanket really looks great - I love the colors!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
